Welcome to Dansm's Guitar Chord Theory! My name is Dan Smith,
I'm a first-year grad student at Harvard, and I've been playing guitar for about 5 years.
So many people have asked me about chords and chord structure that I decided
to put up this page. If you have ever been confused by a chord with a slash in it (e.g. C/B)
or by a sus4 marking (Asus4), then this is the place for you! These lessons on chord theory
start out with keys and progress through major/minor chords, barre chords,
and chord progressions. Remember to have fun with these lessons, and if you have
any questions, e-mail me! I also have a page
on reading music for guitarists,
and this may be useful so check it out!
Check my glossary for any terms you don't understand.
For a list of common chords, check my chord archive.
